  Mon 14 Oct 2019
  On the Monday 14th October, the On-Your-Marks (OYM) Church club led a whole school harvest assembly. The children played a game of 'Guess the Fruit' and they had to identify the fruit and say whether is grew underground, above ground or on a tree using different actions.  We sang to of our favourite sngs 'Harvest Samba' and 'Everywhere Around You'.  Finally some of the children from OYM wrote and said some prayers.

• Year 6 School Sleepover

  Fri 05 Jul 2019

  As a reward for all year 6 children passing their SATS tests and for all the hard work that they had put in throughout the year, we held a sleepover and BBQ at school. They took part in a variety of activities including: inflatable gladiators, a Haribo Scavenger hunt, giant-sized volleyball and even told ghost stories (that they had written) around the campfire. They enjoyed an evening meal, a movie in their pyjamas with McFlurries and then slept in tents within the school hall. Very little sleep was had but everybody had a great time even the teachers. In the morning, they had a breakfast feast, completed challenges for rewards, put down the tents and then were picked up by their parents. What a fantastic way to end their last few weeks at primary school.

  Wed 12 Jun 2019

  On Wednesday 12 June the whole school visited the catalyst Museum.  

   

  When we arrived Year 3, 4, 5 and 6 took part in a Forensic workshop.  Looking for clues, the children worked together in the Catalyst crime lab. They used a range of forensic techniques including; scene of crime observation, using simple soil analysis, using a microscope to match fibres, testing unknown powders, separating colours using chromatography, lifting and matching fingerprints, constructing an electrical circuit to create a burglar alarm, matching footprints, blood testing and DNA matching.

   

  During the morning, Reception and Year 1 and 2 explored the interactive displays and activities in the museum. 

   

  After lunch, all the children visited the observatory at the top of the museum, where they had a great view of Runcorn Bridge and the new Mersey Gateway Bridge. 

   

  Later, while the older children explored the rest of the museum, Reception, Year 1 and 2 took part in Explore Your Universe workshop.  The children learnt about the planets in our universe.  They watched demonstration of how an IR camera, a Van de Graaff generator and a plasma ball worked, which made them think about space and how different and exciting it can be. The children also made constellation telescopes.
